Glory to God forever through Jesus Christ

To read the Bible in a year, read Romans 16 on August 18, In the year of our Lord 2018

In the Book of Romans, Paul wrote of the magnificent mercy of God, ending his treatise with these words:

Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith—to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen (Romans 16.25–27).

This is what the mercy of God brings us. After having rebelled against Him, He shows mercy that we might be moved to obey Him by faith and then our whole lives will glorify Him as we live in Christ.
